Pectinase - enzyme for breaking down plant cell walls
An enzyme that breaks down pectin into smaller molecules. It supports the digestion of fruit and vegetables and improves the absorption of nutrients.
Wissenswertes über "Pectinase"
An enzyme that breaks down pectin into smaller molecules. It supports the digestion of fruit and vegetables and improves the absorption of nutrients.
Pectinase is a enzyme complex that catalyses the cleavage of pectins - plant polysaccharides in cell walls. Pectins are mainly found in fruits, vegetables and plant fibres, where they serve as a structuring and gelling agent. The task of pectinases is to break down these complex carbohydrates into smaller components such as galacturonic acid. This process is of great importance both in nature (e.g. when fruit ripens) and in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Pectinases are frequently used in juice and wine production in order to optimise the saponification of fruit.strong data-end="772" data-start="748">lower viscosity, improve juice release and reduce turbidity. It is also used in the textile and paper industry, in the extraction of plant-based ingredients, or in the biotechnological processing of dietary fibres and food supplements. Pectinases are also used in the production of pectin-free fruit extracts, vegetable clear filtrates and functional foods.In nutritional medicine and in certain functional therapies, pectinase is sometimes used to improve the digestibility of fibre-rich foods and to facilitate the absorption of bioactive plant substances. In combination with other enzymes such as cellulase or amylase, it can help to support digestion, especially in sensitive bowel or irritable bowel syndrome. The effect depends heavily on the pH value and temperature, which is why specific formulations are required.
